Fatigue in young patients with acquired brain injury in the outpatient rehabilitation setting: A 2-year follow-up study.

Acquired brain injury (ABI) may cause fatigue and participation restrictions in young patients. However, knowledge regarding the course of these problems over time is lacking. This study aims to describe the course of fatigue and participation and their relationship over time in an observational two-year follow-up study among patients(5-24 years) with ABI referred for outpatient rehabilitation and their parents.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ICHOM standard set for stroke: the Dutch version.

Introduction: The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) developed a standard set of patient-centered outcome measures for use in stroke patients. In addition to the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health, it is comprised of 25 questions that are not part of a specific questionnaire. This study aimed to translate these 25 single questions into Dutch.

Fatigue in young patients with acquired brain injury in the rehabilitation setting: Categorizing and interpreting fatigue severity levels.

Purpose: Fatigue in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) is common. However, to better target fatigue, clear ways to categorize/interpret fatigue-severity in individual patients are lacking. This study aims to determine/categorize fatigue severity among children, adolescents, and young adults with ABI.

The outcomes of a vocational rehabilitation and mentorship program in unemployed young adults with acquired brain injury.

Background: Persons with disabilities are at risk for unemployment with negative long-term consequences.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the process and outcomes of a novel vocational rehabilitation (VR) program based on the concept of mentorship.

Methods: Observational, retrospective study including unemployed young adults with acquired brain injury (ABI) taking part in a VR program including assessment, training, individual counselling and mentor support from volunteering professionals.

Participation Restrictions among Children and Young Adults with Acquired Brain Injury in a Pediatric Outpatient Rehabilitation Cohort: The Patients' and Parents' Perspective.

Improving participation is an important aim in outpatient rehabilitation treatment. Knowledge regarding participation restrictions in children and young adults with acquired brain injury (ABI) is scarce and little is known regarding the differences in perspectives between patients and parents in the outpatient rehabilitation setting. The aims are to describe participation restrictions among children/young adults (5-24 years) with ABI and investigating differences between patients' and parents' perspectives.

Fatigue, Participation and Quality of Life in Adolescents and Young Adults with Acquired Brain Injury in an Outpatient Rehabilitation Cohort.

Purpose: To study the association between fatigue and participation and QoL after acquired brain injury (ABI) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs).

Materials & Methods: Cross-sectional study with AYAs aged 14-25 years, diagnosed with ABI. The PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale, Child & Adolescent Scale of Participation, and PedsQL™4.

Physical activity, fatigue and sleep quality at least 6 months after mild traumatic brain injury in adolescents and young adults: A comparison with orthopedic injury controls.

Objectives: To compare physical activity (PA), fatigue and sleep quality in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) after mild TBI (mTBI) to persons of similar age after orthopedic injury (OI) on the longer term.

Setting: Follow-up at least 6 months after visiting the emergency department of one of 2 general hospitals.

Participants: Forty-nine patients aged 12-25 years (mean 18.

Neurological outcome in children and youth with acquired brain injury 2-year post-injury.

Objective: To determine neurological outcome in children and youth with acquired brain injury (ABI) and explore associated factors.

Design: Cross-sectional study, two-years post-injury.

Patients: Hospital-based sample (n=112) aged 6-22 years.

Fatigue and its relationship with physical activity in adolescents and young adults with traumatic brain injury: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Physical activity (PA) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be impaired leading to secondary health issues and limitations in participation.

Aim: This study aims to determine the level of PA and its determinants in adolescents and young adults with TBI.

Design: Cross-sectional survey study.

Focus on fatigue amongst young adults with spastic cerebral palsy.

Background: This study aimed to assess fatigue amongst young adults with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), to determine subgroups at risk for fatigue and to explore the relationship between fatigue and cardiopulmonary fitness and daily physical activity level.

Participants: Young adults with spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I to III, aged 16 to 24 years.

Methods: Fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale) and self-reported daily physical activity (Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities) were assessed for 56 participants using questionnaires.

Psychometric evaluation of the Dutch language version of the Child and Family Follow-up Survey.

Aim: The Child and Family Follow-up Survey (CFFS) is developed to monitor long-term outcomes of children and youth with acquired brain injury (ABI). The aim of this study was to translate and adapt it into the Dutch language and to evaluate its reliability and validity.

Methods: The CFFS includes the Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation (CASP), the Child and Adolescent Factors Inventory (CAFI) and the Child and Adolescent Scale of Environment (CASE).
